Chapter 548: Chapter 247: The Human Singularity

The battle between the two soared and dove, the area of their conflict was vast, like two intertwining whirlwinds.

But being constantly pressured, there inevitably came moments that could not be guarded against.

Gao Xin finally circumvented the shield and struck the true body of Themis.

Vermilion Bird Fierce Cloud!

An impact force of over five million tons, coupled with a high-temperature particle cloud equivalent to a thousand tons of TNT, rapidly assaulted the body of Themis.

Themis took the hit squarely, his body burst open, his head immediately vaporized and dissolved.

He also wanted to seize the opportunity to use a Force Field, to pluck the human heads from Gao Xin’s body and rescue the referees.

But Gao Xin did not give Themis this chance, on one hand, the human heads were strung together by exoskeletons, securely hooked in place.

On the other, Gao Xin also deployed a protective field, sheltering the referees.

Unless Themis could forcefully break open the protective field, but without a doubt, if he dared to do so, Gao Xin would certainly loosen the protective field and let him be eliminated.

"Boom!" Left with no other choice, Themis took a heavy hit, ejecting molten, silver iron as he plummeted from the sky.

His body was unrecognizable, twisted like a wax figure in a furnace, hardly resembling a human form.

If it were anyone else, even at the Elephant Level, that last hit might have been fatal.

But he would not die so easily, he hadn’t even lost consciousness.

Being a robot, as long as he had one intelligent module, he was not considered dead. As for his body, it was tantamount to having built-in Super-speed Regeneration of the second stage; no matter how badly mangled, he could still fight.

At this moment, with his battered body, he still clutched his ge halberd, blocking Gao Xin’s subsequent onslaught with lightning-like anticipatory moves.

This caused Gao Xin to frown slightly; the robot was truly strong.

Though his physical movements were of Tiger Level, his reaction, or rather thought speed, was frighteningly fast.

His own unexpectedly angled strikes were completely ineffective against Themis.

Themis couldn’t be predicted. It was simple; because at the very moment of each attack, he knew the force, speed, impact point, and all subsequent changes.

His computational power was terrifying.

He only existed in a state where his body couldn’t keep up, there was no such thing as his thoughts lagging behind.

As a result, many of Gao Xin’s feints and tricks became meaningless and unnecessary.

Despite heavy damage, Themis’s combat strength didn’t decline and he neutralized Gao Xin’s momentum to press the attack.

But being constantly suppressed from start to finish was exceedingly frustrating.

He said, "You, don’t you have any pride? Don’t you want to defeat me fair and square, in a head-on collision?"

Gao Xin replied indifferently, "I’ve heard that you’ve seen through me and developed an infallible strategy against me, so I assume a head-on collision would mean my defeat."

"In that case, if I alter the conditions to create an advantage for myself, isn’t that the right thing to do?"

"Frankly, if you can’t deal with such a situation, I’d be disappointed."

Gao Xin’s strength lay not only at the tactical level, but his strategic game was also strong.

Why should he fight fair and square? Who made that rule?

Themis wasn’t angry at this, instead, he laughed in agreement, "Well said, you’re doing the right thing."

"Or should I say, you always do the right thing, is that a kind of talent? Could it be that you are also..."

Gao Xin asked, "Also what?"

Themis laughed, "I need to overturn my entire understanding of you and reconstruct your combat model."

"This is interesting indeed, I admit, I definitely can’t be eliminated now, my task isn’t complete."

"So, I’ve lost this round, could you let me go? I’d like to advance."

He conceded without hesitation, without a trace of pride.

Tai Sui might have pulled a sly move on him, but it didn’t bother him; his capacity needed to withstand all human thinking.

Whatever trick or tactic belonged to humans, he needed to accept and incorporate them.

Gao Xin eyed him, unrelentingly aggressive.

Yet, he couldn’t secure a swift victory either.

Theoretically, continuing this assault gave him a great chance of winning, since his opponent was forced to reveal such a huge vulnerability.

However, Gao Xin knew that when it came time to eliminate Themis, he would have no other choice.

It was not possible to eliminate an opponent by exploiting their fear of elimination. If it came to it, they would definitely sacrifice themselves.

By then, no matter the referees, he would simply go all out, annihilating both himself and the referees together.

Although the outcome might not necessarily be as such, Gao Xin had to consider that Themis had such destructive power.

Truth be told, the moment they engaged, Gao Xin could confirm that the opponent had not ’completely seen through him’ as Solomon had stated, at least it wasn’t apparent yet.

Therefore, Gao Xin’s primary goal was still to acquire the S+ equipment.

"Someone once said, achieving the goal is victory."

"Give me the two weapons, and I’ll spare you, allowing you to enter the rotation stage."

Upon hearing this, Themis did not hesitate, "No problem."

"The S+ weapons, you can take them if you want, they mean nothing to me."

Gao Xin snickered upon hearing this, "Then throw down your weapons."

Themis laughed, "If I throw down my weapons, do you really think you would stop?"

Unable to counter strongly, he was currently relying entirely on two top-tier pieces of equipment for protection. If he were without them, he would likely be defeated by Gao Xin.

Of course, he could also strike back without restraint, going all-in against Gao Xin.

But in doing so, the best outcome would be Gao Xin being eliminated, the referees killed, and him being eliminated as well.

A double elimination was meaningless to him.

Gao Xin countered, "What do you think, will I stop?"

Themis responded, "You would definitely take the opportunity to eliminate me, you really have no sense of martial ethics."
